Avaya GlobalConnect enters into strategic alliance with Cyberoam |
| |
| (
Ahmedabad, India - 29 May, 2006
) |
| |
| Avaya GlobalConnect, India’s leading enterprise communication solutions company, today announced a strategic alliance with Cyberoam, a leading unified threat management (UTM) appliance provider, for the distribution of its Identity-Based UTM appliances in India. Cyberoam UTM appliances are unique with a complete user Identity-Based approach which recognizes the need to bind user identity to security for complete protection against emerging threats. |
| |
| The alliance brings a one-stop solution to SME customers, providing both IP telephony and security solutions at a single point, reducing their dependency on multiple solution providers. Under the terms of the agreement, Avaya GlobalConnect’s nationwide sales and distribution network will expand Cyberoam’s reach beyond the metros into the interiors - Class B and C cities - in addition to providing full-fledged service and support through its regional offices. |
| |
“We recognize Cyberoam’s strong presence in the high-growth SME segment with its UTM appliances,” says Niru Mehta, MD and Vice-Chairman, Avaya GlobalConnect. “At the same time, we are expanding the security segment of our business. Cyberoam is the ideal partner for us with their experience in this field and their unique security appliance. This will support our expansion into the SME segment in India, after our foray into this market with the launch of IP Office earlier this year,“ he added,. |
| |
| While Cyberoam’s strength lies in its unique identity-based UTMs that bind user identity to security instead of relying on complex IP pools, Avaya GlobalConnect’s strength lies in its strategy of offering complete solutions that address the total data, voice, video and security needs of customers. |
| |
| “A strategic, value-added partner like Avaya GlobalConnect who is focused on solution delivery beyond plain product-sale brings much needed support to SME customers. This will play a critical role in acquiring major share of the Indian security market,” says Hemal Patel, MD and CEO, Elitecore Technologies, vendor of Cyberoam. “We aim to capture a leading share of the estimated 63 Million USD Indian security market in 2006-07.” |
